Program to promote German-US ties From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program was established in 1984 to promote closer US-German ties. It is fully funded by the Robert Bosch Foundation (German: Robert Bosch Stiftung), one of the largest foundations in Germany.
Each year 15 young professionals from the United States are accepted through a competitive application process to take part in the program for a period of 9–12 months. The primary components of the Bosch Fellowship include high-level work placements at private, governmental, and non-governmental institutions in Germany, as well as intensive seminars on contemporary German issues. During seminars, Bosch Fellows meet with key decision-makers from the public and private sectors throughout Germany and Europe. Participants in the Bosch Fellowship are recruited from business administration, journalism, law, public policy, and closely related fields. No German language skills are required at the time of application, and intensive German language study is offered before the start of the fellowship. The fellowship period generally begins in September and ends in May of the following year.
